Lakers remain in contention for Jonathan Kuminga amid free agency moves

The Los Angeles Lakers continue to pursue Jonathan Kuminga as free agency progresses. Their efforts have seen limited movement, with Kuminga reportedly seeking a deal worth $20 million annually, a figure the Lakers cannot accommodate. Instead, Kuminga may consider a pay cut for a one-year deal. The Cleveland Cavaliers and Minnesota Timberwolves have emerged as other potential suitors. As September approaches, the Lakers aim to strengthen their roster, particularly following the exit of Rui Hachimura.
